Z! (Part 2)

Pupu, Honeybee, and Pipi. My three favorite girls!

To recap yesterday, she broke up with her ex and got together with me. Hey wait, those two incidents are not related... It's like this. She was finally single in 2008 and lasted so until 2009. I was a good friend (one of her best) until 2009. Until we eventually evolved into a couple. Yes, Pokemon terms should not be used to spoil the moment but I just couldn't resist. >.<

By mid 2008, we found out that we were both offered JPA scholarships. She was to be a med student while I was going to be in the science arena. She was going to INTEC while I was going to INTI. I guess we always stayed connected, one way or another.

Zy and the Mecha Bull. She sure can ride a bull... =P

Our friendship pretty much remained platonic until 2009... It was in March when I invited her over to check out INTI. In (at, during?) the previous week, I had accepted her invitation to take a look at INTEC and boy was she right when she said it sucked (the dorms). I saw rats, leaky faucets, black mold growing on the ceiling, and experienced poor air ventilation.

In return, I wanted her to come and experience a better *ehem* college experience. So during that week, I brought her around INTI and introduced her to my college. Owh, and we camwhored a lot too. xD

Here's an interesting note: I love carrying her!

I don't know what triggered it. Whether it was the extra hot tom yum soup we had, or the loooong deep, personal conversations that day. But something happened. No longer did I view her as a mere friend but something more than that. I felt... attracted to her. Not just physicalities (hot body, sexy hair, pretty face... which she had all three, definitely!), but it transcended that. I began to want her very badly. I couldn't keep my eyes off her. I only had her in my mind.

On that day, I fell in love with my best friend.

This is PB, her sleep bodyguard. Cute pair, no?

Want to know how I got her exactly? Hehehe. I'll keep it brief since it's quite personal. Well, it goes something like this... She had her eyes closed cause she was feeling sleepy. I just happened to look at her face at that moment and *boom* the feeling hit me. I was kinda confused too because of... ethical issues (which I will elaborate later).

I began to push her hair back behind her ear... I took off her glasses... and I leaned in... I could feel her breath on my lips... I inched closer and closer until eventually...

That's Sora, her bed partner when I'm not there instead. LOL, just kidding. Or am I...?

... I pulled back at the last minute. Dammit k. I had second thoughts. They were derived from the fact that she was my EX's BEST FRIEND. I think it's a sister code somewhere that you can't date your best friend's ex. Of all the thoughts to be had at that moment... *curses*

Her eyes were still closed while I was having an internal struggle with my conscience. You see, I didn't wanna put Zy in such a precarious situation where she had to choose between me and her best friend. I didn't really part with my ex on good terms so, yeah. What would you have done?

Meet Totoro, baby's Christmas gift!

After all was said and done, I made my choice. I kissed her. And guess what? She kissed me back! Weeee ~ the rest is history-loh! I'm SO glad she actually decided to reciprocate my feeling. Can you imagine how awkward it would be if I did kiss her and she went like "WTF?!!!" Kantoi...

Come to think of it... I think she was totally awake the whole time! I mean, come on-lah, how can you be asleep after someone near you strokes your hair and goes so close that you can feel the warmth of his hair near your lips? I told you she was sneaky! Maybe she was the one baiting me in the whole time, like a fish and a rod. Hmmmm, food for thought...

This is my Christmas gift... =P

I've never regretted my decision to be so brash and reckless at getting her. Sure it's unorthodox, but since when was anything good not worth taking a leap of faith? E.g. think of your religion or a piece of liquefied Kit Kat in your car. If I had to go through all of that again to be with her, I would. Faster than you could say "Omgiwishiwasthatlucky!".

Baby girl always keeps mentioning how 'kissing' isn't really an invitation to 'be my girlfriend'. Please-lah, why else would I wanna kiss baby??? To satisfy my human desire and lust at the opposite sex... errr... wait, shiet. Dammn. Ever notice how girls tend to be right most of the time? Zy's one of them. She is God's gift at humbling me. Thank you God. =P

"We actually camwhored in her mum's car. While mum was driving. Zomg.

I remember my first date with her. It was in Sunway Lagoon and we had a helluva time splashing under the Malaysian sun. She happened to be sick that time and my first task as boyfriend was to help her swallow the tablets and pills prescribed. Zy absolutely abhors swallowing solid medicine and I recalled her squirming around while I was shouting by the sidelines that she was a good girl and will be promptly rewarded. I think she liked it. =P

That night, I brought her up Bukit Antarabangsa to show her KL. I lighted up some candles and poured some sparkling juice. It was amazing... The company you're with can make a world's difference in enriching your experience. The atmosphere was romantic, magical, and unforgettable. We toasted together as a couple, wishing each other lots of happy memories and experiences. I'll never forget my first date with her...

Zy, Zaf, and I and a KLIA place.

Sure enough, we had more dates after that. Through them, we've been growing, learning more about one another - our strengths and weaknesses, likes and dislikes, idiosyncrasies and eccentricities.

We fight and argue, just like any couple.

We make up and say sorry, just like any couple.

We experience a whole plethora of emotions, just like any couple.

But above all, we realize how our lives have intertwined already... just like any couple.

Therefore, I ask of you... what would any other couple do in the next stage of relationship then? I believe that could only be answered through Time.

I'm diggin' the shades! And you. @_@

As Zy and I go through our lives, we will be writing new chapters in our own lil' book. Here are some of them:

1) She intends to become a doctor while I aim to be a physicist. Is it compatible? Definitely. As long as she plays the doctor and I play the sick physicist... =P

2) I am a Christian while she is a Muslim. I've had multiple discussions with her about this issue and we believe that it is not so much as our own personal beliefs with each other that will be the problem, but society's rule of order on us that shall be strenuous.

3) I like pork. She doesn't. I lost this one.

4) I will be going to the States soon but she will continue to be here in Malaysia, unfortunately. How we will weather such a turbulent stage is yet unknown, but we remain hopeful.

"Check me out yo!"

I hope you enjoyed this post about my baby girl. She is indeed sugar, spice and everything nice. Best of all, you can't have her. Cheerios!

Yours Truly,

Ji Mi.

P.S. I love you.
